To the Editor: Every time I think that The Morning Call cannot sink any lower, it manages to prove me wrong. On Aug. 6, it subjected readers to three pages of worthless pander about two lesbians who have chosen to ignore the laws of God and nature, to join themselves in unholy matrimony. Robert N. Parks Slatington

Youngsters ignore winter's chill while having fun on the playground at Bethlehem's Sand Island: Right, Scott Grazer, 9, of Bethlehem, and his 7-year-old brother, Mike, enjoy the slide. Below, Jason Tarboro, 7, of Freemansburg, takes a swing on the rings.

Irene Cassel looks concerned as she sweeps aside the snowfall that has covered her sidewalk at 3rd and Juniper streets in Quakertown. But with spring just two weeks away, it's getting easier to ignore the occasional dusting. In fact, if Irene had simply forgotten the snow, it -- like the rest of yesterday's flakes -- probably would have been gone by day's end.

Bill White's Feb. 21 commentary on one of our finest senators was unfair, extremely biased and unjustified. Sen. Lisa Boscola is the epitome of what a senator is, or should be. She is, indeed, a "taxpayer hero," and my political hero as well. Boscola has served her constituents with honesty, integrity and dedication. Her concerns for a better Pennsylvania far outreach her "district." Our small but mighty community has been blessed with representation from our local government. Without the assistance of Northampton County Executive Glenn Reibman, Sen. (now Congressman)

To the Editor: I am writing concerning the article on the M.B. Research Lab. How can anyone ignore the things they do to animals, the pain, all for the makeup, the soap powder, etc. These animals cry, bleed, hurt just like humans. Must be a better way. This is cruelty in its ugliest form. They should be closed forever. They had their pictures taken; I'd be ashamed to show my face. All for the sake of money. Ethel Coleman Bethlehem

The months of prep work are over. Now that summer's almost here, it's time to buy that swimsuit. Amy Cafazzo, style expert for Marshalls department stores, says the first rule is to ignore the size on the tag. Focus instead on how the suit fits: The torso of a one-piece suit should lie perfectly flat without puckering or pulling. Be sure leg openings don't dig into skin. If the straps dig into your shoulders, try the next size up. At the bustline, coverage is key. Move around, lifting your arms over your head.

To the Editor: At the previous Heidelberg Township supervisors meeting and immediately following the re-election of our pro-development supervisors, our supervisors voted to delete our farmland protection zoning. It had never been placed on the agenda: there was no chance for any public input. A person does not have to wonder why there is no sun shining in Heidelberg this November. During the year our supervisors heard fact after fact why we should keep our zoning ordinance. They chose to ignore all the facts.

To the Editor: If the police were truly interested in making the streets safer, they would cite those drivers who drive to the left of the center line on Emaus Avenue at Fourth Street. They don't. They would cite those who pass in the no-passing zone and left-turn lane on Route 309 between Chapmans Road and Ridgeview Drive. They don't. They would cite those who make left turns on red at Cedar Crest Boulevard and Tilghman Street and at Lehigh Street and Oxford Drive. They don't. They would cite those who sail through stop signs at Ott and Liberty streets.

To the Editor: I have been falling in the "cracks" of the system for years. I receive "too much child support" to qualify for government-funded programs. Child support is supposed to be just that, to support the children. So, why is it then that they suffer? They're ultimately the ones being turned down. I'm not looking for a handout for myself, this is for the children. I'm sick of everyone looking at child support as if it were "extra income." If you are a parent, you know what costs are involved in raising children.

To the Editor: Last Monday, Dec. 31, The Call ran a letter by Mr. David L. Lahr, Kutztown, Pennsylvania Deitch Anti-Defamation and Preservation League, denouncing the letter of Mr. Dick Moyer, another Dutchman, for reproaching his ancestry in an unflattering manner. He writes: "Mr. Moyer is a lost soul." He asked Mr. Moyer if it bothers him being a dumb Dutchman. I would like to quote Mr. Lahr's last paragraph after he prescribed remedies for Mr. Moyer to cure himself from his nasty attitude about his nationality.
